Top Dinosaur Museum Hotel Reviews

Westwood House

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely first class in every aspect. The hosts were absolutely fantastic. Cannot praise them enough. Would fully recommend Westwood House. Superb"

The Spice Ship

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely old world character pub, cheap beer, lively sports / music, good breakfast, friendly staff, ideal for short stay in local area. Room basic but clean & decent enough for my needs as a 1 night stay, comfortable bed, good water power in shower which was lovely to cool down and clean up in after a day in the hot weather. Of note in deciding to book a stay: pub was lively so could be a bit too noisy for some later at night, no aircon in accommodation (but a fan to waft the hot air around is provided !) and the road noise in early hours could be an issue if you are a light sleeper (obviously outside the control of the premises however, worth accounting for if one of your priorities is a good nights sleep). Overall, decent value for money and even if I book to stay there next time I'd still visit again for the ambience of the place. "
